Just a few lines about my marathon training so far!! Talk about
roller coaster ride.. I know they say ur lucky to make the start line
injury free.. But I had the shock of my life two weeks ago..went to a
cardiology appointment after I had an episode of SVT..fast heart rate
(at rest) last year and the specialist nurse said "AFTER WHAT U HAVE
DESCRIBED TO ME IM GOING TO ASK U TO STOP RUNNING!!"Omg I said I can't, I've got a marathon in 11weeks..she sounded serious & said I needed to be investigated (waiting list 8 weeks) as I may need a small surgical procedure & a beta blocker!! I was so shocked as I've exercised since the age of 15!! Not to mention how scared I was!! Anyway cut a long story short, she got me in for an ultra sound scan of my heart the same day!! 2 long worrying days I waited for consultant cardiologist to review my heart scan & he has given me permission to carry on training!! But wants me to have a 24 hr ECG!! He said not to push it with speed work & just plod!! I lost a weeks training but at least i didn't have to wait 8 weeks in the end!! So, I've been back on track this week and pulled off 16 miles this morning!! So very grateful to PFPR for this LONDON MARATHON opportunity & now the weather's settling I shall hopefully be able to get to the club..as most of you know I live near Hillsborough/Sheffield so it's a long journey, didn't wanna risk it all that way in snow!!lol!! If any one would like to join me on my long runs I normally do them sat am!! Or if u have any suggestions on routes let me know!! Me and Sarah Sykes are planning one, running the Norton 9 in 2 weeks time then running round again to total 18 if anyone would like to join us!!
